Tips to keep your car’s windshield clean

When cleaning and maintaining the vehicle, the windshield usually has some drawbacks. It is exposed to rain, frost, vapors and soils, and the task of maintaining it seems unattainable. Fortunately, here are many useful tricks and tips.

First of all, we must give them an appropriate cleaning. When washing the car, use specific products to clean glasses and crystals in these areas. Assist with rubber brushes in good condition, and dry them or rinse them with a crumpled newspaper in bolts to completely absorb the humidity. Also, remember to always carry the car wiper pump properly charged. When adding water, remember to put a little glass cleaner or white vinegar, to make cleaning and rinsing more effective when using this mechanism. Another good trick home, to use in a hurry, is to place a few drops of hair shampoo in the water pump.

Trick to prevent fogging the windscreen

The interior cleaning of the glass is just as important as any other part. After cleansing with the specific products, give them a pass with a cloth soaked in a mixture of warm water and glycerin, then drying them with a soft cloth or a chamois, to avoid over-coating. Avoid touching the crystals with your hands, as this causes the skin’s own greasiness to adhere to the glass, after which it is very difficult to remove, and causing visibility problems when having sunlight against it. If it has occurred to you, rinse with soft suede, rubbing gently and in a circular fashion, until you get home and you can wash it properly.

Trick to keep windshields clean in winter

If you live in a zone of aggressive winters, where it usually frost or snow, help with this trick: before the cold season, and then regularly, wash the glasses and crystals with hot water in which you have diluted salt. Leave to air dry. This will cause when ice is formed at night, it does not stick to the windshield.

When there are specific soils, such as insects or animal stools, first soak them with a cloth well wet in hot water, leaving it on for a few moments, and then remove them with the same cloth. I repeated the operation until the remains have disappeared, and only then dedicated to the task of washing, to have an ideal result without complications.
